Next Fly-In VOTE..............
 

Here we go, you know what to do........... :)

All of the above :D

Nice to see you've resurfaced after New year BRL. Any hint of a date (or at least a month)?

Hmm, quite a choice there,


lets see...

from Sherburn, near leeds,

Shobdon seems quite a hike, and a dodge round Birmingham
Liecester looks good, is there much there? but has 3 runways
Shuttleworth is a bit further,but i havent been before, and it looks interesting, but only one runway could crosswind be a problem?
Coventry - well its got plenty of runway, but does it have somewhere to eat and meet? a GA terminal seems a bit formal ... but ive never been, can someone comment?
Duxford - its always an interesting place, somewhere id like to fly to, rather than just turning up in my car.
Gamston - well, its a bit too close for my liking, but its a nice enough airfield, but not a great deal to see. Although there is a big DA40 simulator to have a play with...

I vote for duxford, just cos its somewhere id like to fly to, an as i think it would be an interesting place to visit

Erm, this poll software needs fixing. This should be a STV election, not FPTP.

Thinking of the first week of April. Any other suggestions welcome and will do a poll if too many come up.

Coventry is very nice, and the new 'GA Terminal' helps. However, if you're planning on visiting the museum, you can only walk there by the main road ... and it will take a while.

Duxford has been done.

I vote for one of the others. Although I probably won't get to go anyway. (Money reasons) :(

First week of April - like April 3rd? That'd do nicely!

After that, it's Holy Week and I'll be a tad preoccupied till April 12th. Then might be flying far far away on a nice vacation :)

Aerbabe,

*in a jewish accent* 'Money Schmoney you don't need moneey'

Well not if you don't mind arriving in a tatty old relic with a dodgy radio and no heater.

I'll pick you up :ok:

AB pawns family heirloom and hires plane

Have voted for Shobdon, but am moderately flexible (depends on where I am at the time - a move south of the Border may be on the cards if plans come together). I thought Sandtoft had quite a few thumbs up in the other thread (except from knobbygb, as it's barely walking distance for him!).

I must finish my Flying Instructor course by the first week of April.

Actually, I must start my Flying Instructor course before I can think about finishing it. I hope I'll be able to make the fly-in, and if I can then any of the suggested places sound good. Duxford, as AerBabe says, has been done. Coventry has also been done, although it was a Bash, not a Fly-in (AerBabe, you haven't forgotten that, have you?) So my vote is for any of the others.

No, I haven't forgotten that. :rolleyes:

Kingy - Thanks for that. Although I did misread the post as "arriving WITH a tatty old relic". :O It would be nice to have a play in the good ol' cub again. Which means we have to find an airfield with a suitable a/c to park next to again. :ok:

AB doesn't have any heirlooms left to pawn.

Old Warden. Interesting things are afoot in terms of restorations and layout. However grass and length would scare off many

3rd April would be great. I am away from the 8th for a while so that would be good if the 3rd was ok.

I will put a number of dates up for vote next week.
Your suggestions here please.......

I'm sticking to the original idea and voting for Leicester, although I'm quite happy going anywhere really. April 3rd would be good.

Any Sherburners wanna share?

Hmmm. CG's headed south again (Shuttleworth, Duxford last year).

I've voted Shobden, but Leicester would be OK.

Date does not, at this remove, matter too much. Though I would prefer a weekday, rather than Saturday/Sunday.

The main thing is to see what date is ultimately decided in sufficient time to be able to book an aircraft!

(One does rather favour Coventry, owing to the ILS.)

{Knobbygb - plse. check your PMs.}[SIZE=1]

Drjad,

I can't help thinking that, if the ILS is required, it will be a very small event wherever it is.....

I'd love to meet everyone, having read this forum since I started my PPL. Meeting at Coventry needn't be in the GA terminal, there are a couple of pubs within walking distant from what I can remember of my mis-spent youth in the three spires...

Mmm... rather close at the moment! :)
